Brakes Squealing
My front disc brakes are squealing on my 1978 F100, I took a look at them and the pads have plenty of meat left on them, there is no brake dust or deep groves in the rotors, What's making them squeal? Oh yeah the truck stops fine, doesn't pull to one side or anything like that.

The tab that touches the rotor is bent to far in. You need to set the tab with a feeler gauge to "Squeal" when you have less then 1/8" pad left.
These are never adjusted right out of the box.
